The galaxy appears as a somewhat flattened disk structure, viewed at an oblique angle. A bright central bulge is present, exhibiting a concentrated luminosity. The disk component shows indications of spiral arm structures, though these are somewhat diffuse and not sharply defined. The overall color is slightly blueish, with a concentration of blue and green light in the center. There are redder hues appearing in some peripheral regions of the disk, particularly at the 12 o'clock position of the galaxy. There are very faint signs of distortion, but generally it appears normal. There is not evidence of a strong tidal interaction or recent merger event, although there are subtle features that suggest minor gravitational disturbances might be present. The galaxy's luminosity profile decreases relatively smoothly from the central bulge outwards to the edges of the visible disk.
