The galaxy presents as a lenticular or possibly elliptical galaxy, seen nearly edge-on. It exhibits a bright, concentrated central bulge that dominates its overall luminosity. The bulge appears smooth and featureless. A faint, extended disk component can be discerned, characterized by a relatively high degree of flattening and a somewhat irregular distribution of light. Dust lanes are present, but are relatively sparse and do not obscure the galaxy's bulge. There is no evidence of spiral arms or active star formation regions. Overall, the galaxy possesses a smooth and quiescent appearance.
