This galaxy presents as a relatively well-defined spiral, observed at an inclined angle close to edge-on. A prominent central bulge is visible, appearing smooth and luminous with a yellow-white hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. Fainter spiral arms extend outwards, exhibiting a bluer color. They seem somewhat patchy in appearance, indicating regions of active star formation along the arms. Dust lanes are subtly present, especially near the central bulge, adding to the disk's complexity. There is no clear evidence of a major ongoing merger, though there may be minor disturbances visible in the morphology of the arms. Overall, the galaxy displays a mixture of characteristics, suggesting a transition between a pure elliptical and a fully developed spiral galaxy.
