The galaxy presents as an elongated, somewhat cigar-shaped structure. It exhibits a relatively smooth and diffuse appearance, lacking prominent spiral arms or distinct features. The central region appears brighter, suggesting a concentration of stellar mass or potentially an active galactic nucleus, though no clear signs of the latter are immediately apparent. The galaxy's overall color is predominantly bluish-white, indicative of a population of younger, hotter stars, with some suggestion of slight color variation from the center to the outer regions. A subtle dust lane is possibly present, but the relatively smooth appearance does not appear to be heavily disrupted. The galaxy's light distribution gradually fades from the center outwards, without any sharp edges or truncation, suggesting a smooth distribution of stellar density. Based on this, the galaxy is likely either a late-type spiral galaxy with tightly wound arms, or a lenticular galaxy seen edge-on.
