The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral system. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, indicating a significant obscuration of light from the far side. The central bulge is visibly bright and appears somewhat elongated. The bulge color suggests an older stellar population with a redder hue.

The disk is not perfectly uniform, with some clumpy regions that may be areas of star formation. The overall color gradient from the bulge outwards suggests the presence of younger, bluer stars in the outer disk. The galaxy appears largely undisturbed, with no obvious signs of major mergers or tidal interactions. A slight asymmetry may indicate a minor disturbance or interaction. The bulge appears somewhat rounded at the edges where it connects to the disk.
