The galaxy presents as a relatively smooth, flattened disk-like structure. It is oriented approximately edge-on relative to our line of sight, with a bright, concentrated central bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellowish-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The disk appears to be composed of a fainter, bluish component, possibly indicative of ongoing star formation. The overall shape is somewhat elongated but generally appears symmetric. There is a suggestion of some minor asymmetry or a faint extension on one side of the galaxy, but it is not clearly defined enough to suggest a major merger event. The galaxy does not appear to be a pure elliptical.
