The galaxy presents as a highly inclined spiral, observed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy, obscuring a significant portion of the central bulge. The bulge appears to be smoothly distributed and boxy in shape, with color gradients suggesting older stellar populations. The disk is elongated, with a high ellipticity, and appears relatively smooth with a color gradient indicative of a drop off of star formation towards the edges of the galaxy. There is no evidence of strong star formation regions or prominent spiral arms, suggesting that the disk is relatively quiescent in this image. The light distribution appears centrally concentrated, with brightness decreasing smoothly outward from the center. No signs of a recent merger events or close companion galaxies can be seen.
