The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a prominent dust lane bisecting the luminous bulge. The bulge itself appears somewhat boxy, with a concentration of older, redder stars towards the center, indicated by the orange-yellow hue. Fainter, bluer light is visible along the edges of the disk, potentially indicative of ongoing star formation. There is no evidence of major mergers or significant tidal disturbances in the immediate vicinity.
