This galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, oriented nearly edge-on from our line of sight. It exhibits a prominent central bulge that appears yellowish-white, suggesting a population of older stars. There is a faint disc extending outwards from the bulge that is bluer in color, which could indicate some recent star formation. Overall, the galaxy has a fairly regular morphology, though a slight asymmetry or minor disturbance in the outer disc can be seen. This may be the result of a minor interaction with another galaxy. The galaxy appears to be somewhat elongated, with a cigar-like shape.
