The galaxy appears to be a lenticular or early-type spiral galaxy, seen at a relatively high inclination. Its morphology is primarily smooth, with a dominant central bulge exhibiting a yellowish-white hue, suggesting a population of older stars. A faint, extended disk is visible, exhibiting a bluer color gradient away from the bulge, possibly indicating the presence of younger stellar populations and ongoing star formation. At one extreme of the disk a redder region is present, indicating possible HII regions. The galaxy displays a flattened, elongated shape with a cigar-like appearance, implying a notable degree of internal anisotropy. There is a slight suggestion of some minor disturbances.
