The galaxy in the image presents as a spiral galaxy, viewed at an angle oblique to its rotational axis. A noticeable central bulge is present, exhibiting moderate size relative to the overall galactic disk. Spiral arms are visible, winding outwards from the central bulge. The arms appear somewhat flocculent, exhibiting regions of increased luminosity possibly indicative of active star formation. There is evidence of a bar structure within the central region of the galaxy. The overall color suggests a significant population of older stars. The galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger, though the spiral arms are somewhat asymmetrical indicating minor gravitational disturbance or interactions. There does not appear to be a dust lane visible in the image.
