The galaxy presents as a relatively elongated, disk-shaped system viewed at a moderate inclination. A bright, yellowish central bulge is prominent, indicating a significant concentration of older stellar populations. Fainter, bluer regions are apparent towards the periphery of the galaxy, suggesting ongoing star formation within the spiral arms, though these arms appear somewhat diffuse and less defined. The overall color gradient shifts from yellow/white at the core to bluer hues in the outer regions. There are no obvious signs of recent major merger activity, although there may be some slight disturbances in the outer disk.
