The galaxy presents as a relatively bright, elongated, and cigar-shaped object. It has a prominent central bulge that appears smooth and concentrated. The color of the bulge is predominantly yellow, suggesting a population of older, redder stars. Extending from the central bulge is a fainter, disk-like structure. The disk appears somewhat disturbed or irregular, lacking well-defined spiral arms. There may be evidence of some minor tidal disturbance, but the galaxy does not appear to be undergoing a major merger. The overall color of the galaxy indicates a relatively low rate of star formation.
