The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a morphology suggestive of a disk galaxy viewed at a high inclination. The galaxy's light is concentrated in a central bulge region. The overall shape is somewhat elongated, appearing in between round and cigar-shaped. A slight asymmetry can be seen, but the dominant classification from visual inspection would be that of a smooth galaxy. There are no indications of a significant ongoing major merger, but possibly a minor disturbance could be occurring. The galaxy exhibits a noticeable color gradient from center to edge, with the central regions appearing more red and the outer disk regions showing more blue light.
