The galaxy appears as an elongated, lenticular or spiral type seen edge-on. A prominent central bulge dominates the structure, exhibiting a smooth, concentrated luminosity profile. The bulge appears ellipsoidal in shape, with a gradient from a bright, yellowish core towards a less luminous outer region. The disk component is thin and elongated, also viewed edge-on. Faint hints of dust lane absorption are suggested along the equatorial plane, but not distinctly visible. The color is yellowish. Evidence of recent major or minor merging events is not detected in the image.
