The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a prominent dust lane that bisects the galaxy along its major axis. A central bulge is visible, appearing more concentrated and brighter in the redder wavelengths, indicating a higher concentration of older stellar populations. Faint spiral arms extend from the bulge, visible as diffuse patches of bluer light mixed with redder regions. The galaxy's disk appears relatively thin and elongated. There is evidence of some minor disturbance within the disk, possibly due to gravitational interaction or past mergers. The overall color profile suggests a mixed stellar population, with both young, blue stars and older, redder stars contributing to the galaxy's light.
