The galaxy presents as a spiral, observed at a near edge-on inclination. Prominent, loosely wound spiral arms extend from a bright central bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, potentially indicative of an older stellar population. The spiral arms are bluer in color, suggesting ongoing star formation. Patches of increased brightness are scattered within the arms, possibly representing HII regions or star clusters. There is no obvious central bar structure apparent. Overall, the galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth morphology, with some indication of minor disturbances in the disk. The galaxy displays a notable disk component that spans beyond the central bulge, lending to its classification as a later-type spiral.
