The galaxy appears to be a spiral, but the arms are difficult to distinguish due to the viewing angle. The galaxy is an intermediate spiral, seen at an angle, but not quite edge-on. There is a very large bulge, which is more massive than the disk, and a bar structure is present across the bulge. There is evidence of star formation within the disk, as indicated by the bluer colors, though it appears fairly weak overall. The galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth appearance, without any major disturbances. The morphological classification suggests a well-defined structure with a substantial bulge component. There is also some visual evidence of a dust lane obscuring part of the disk.
