The galaxy presents a flattened, disk-like morphology, characteristic of a spiral galaxy viewed at a significant inclination.  A prominent central bulge exhibits a yellowish hue, suggestive of an older stellar population.  Spiral arms are visible, appearing somewhat tightly wound and traced by bluer regions which may indicate ongoing star formation. The disk shows a degree of asymmetry, possibly indicative of gravitational interactions or internal disturbances. Dust lanes may be obscuring portions of the spiral arms, particularly on the near side of the galaxy, as inferred from the color gradients. Overall, the galaxy exhibits a relatively smooth light distribution, with no obvious signs of a recent major merger, although the spiral arms show subtle irregularities. There is evidence of a bar structure.
