The galaxy presents a predominantly disk-like structure, viewed at an oblique angle, but not quite edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge exhibiting a yellowish hue, indicative of an older stellar population. Faint spiral arms emanate from the central region and are traced by bluer concentrations, which suggests regions of active star formation. The spiral arms appear somewhat flocculent. The overall structure suggests a grand design spiral galaxy with two dominant arms. The disk shows a slightly dusty appearance, and the galaxy exhibits a faint overall blueness, which could be due to some recent star formation, although the prominent bulge suggests the galaxy contains a significant number of older stars. There is no obvious sign of tidal features indicating a major merger event; however, some asymmetry in the disk hints at a possible minor interaction or internal dynamic disturbance.
