The galaxy presents as a somewhat elliptical structure, viewed at an oblique angle, but not quite edge-on. The central bulge is prominent and appears yellowish-white, suggesting an older stellar population. Surrounding the bulge is a fainter disk component, exhibiting hints of a bluish tint, indicative of recent or ongoing star formation. There are some features of the disk that seem like spiral arms, but they may also be tidal disturbances. There are a few disturbed features, possibly indicating a minor ongoing or recent merger event. The overall color of the galaxy is fairly consistent, though it could have active star formation in the outer regions. The galaxy appears relatively smooth, with no apparent dust lanes.
