This galaxy appears to be a relatively smooth, lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy. There is a bright, centrally concentrated bulge which appears yellowish, suggesting a population of older stars. Fainter and slightly bluer disk components appear to extend beyond the central bulge; the bluer color suggests some ongoing star formation, but it is not a dominant feature. The overall shape is slightly elongated, but it is not highly flattened or distorted. There might be some evidence of minor tidal disturbance, but the galaxy appears primarily undisturbed.
