The galaxy appears as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a prominent central bulge with a mostly homogenous, yellowish-orange color profile. The bulge appears somewhat rounded in shape. A faint disk is visible extending outwards from the central bulge. The disk appears slightly bluer in color than the bulge, hinting at the presence of younger stellar populations. There is a degree of dust obscuration visible, particularly along the plane of the disk which appears more red. Some disturbance can be observed in the disk, although the nature of the disturbance is difficult to discern with certainty.
