This galaxy exhibits a prominent central bulge with a yellowish hue, suggesting a significant population of older stars. Surrounding the bulge, a faint disk structure is visible, exhibiting some irregularities and possibly spiral arm fragments. The disk appears bluer compared to the bulge, indicating the presence of younger stellar populations and ongoing star formation. There is evidence of disturbances within the disk, potentially due to minor merger activity or tidal interactions. Overall, the galaxy presents a morphology that could be characterized as an intermediate stage between a pure elliptical and a fully developed spiral galaxy, showing characteristics of both smooth and featured components.
