The galaxy presents as an elongated, cigar-shaped structure. The central region exhibits a concentrated, smooth luminosity profile, suggesting a bulge. Surrounding the central region is a fainter, more diffuse disk. The color distribution appears to show an older stellar population in the bulge, and some suggestion of bluer, possibly younger stars in the disk. There is no apparent strong spiral structure, though there may be some slight distortion along the edges of the disk, possibly indicating minor gravitational interaction or internal asymmetries. No prominent tidal features or clear indications of a major merger event are observed. Based on the redder color and smooth profile of the bulge, it is likely comprised primarily of older stars. The estimated size of the galaxy indicates a substantial, but not overly large, system. The weak signs of ongoing star formation activity is apparent.
