The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, likely inclined at a significant angle to our line of sight, though not perfectly edge-on. This is evidenced by the apparent flattened shape and the subtle asymmetry in the outer regions. A dominant, moderately sized bulge is visible, exhibiting a yellowish hue, indicative of an older stellar population. Fainter, bluish spiral arms extend from the central bulge, though they are not sharply defined. The arms suggest ongoing star formation. The spiral arms seem to possess at least minor disturbances, with light from the central bulge extending farther into one side of the galaxy over the other. Traces of a central bar may be present. The overall shape is neither perfectly smooth nor highly disturbed, suggesting it is in a relatively stable evolutionary state, not undergoing a major merger at the time the image was captured.
