This galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral, exhibiting a prominent dust lane bisecting its luminous bulge. The central bulge appears relatively smooth and elongated along the major axis. The disk is viewed almost perfectly edge-on, showing a significant degree of obscuration due to the dust lane. There is a slight boxy appearance of the bulge. The disk seems relatively undisturbed, with no signs of major mergers or tidal disruptions. The light profile is brightest and reddest in the central regions, suggesting an older stellar population. The outer disk exhibits bluer colors, hinting at younger stars and ongoing star formation, though this is relatively weak overall. The disk appears moderately thin, with a clear transition between the central bulge and the extended disk structure.
