The galaxy presents a distinct, though somewhat obscured, spiral structure. The arms are prominent, exhibiting a high degree of winding. There appears to be a moderate bulge component, surrounded by a disk. The disk itself is oriented at a moderate angle relative to our line of sight, showing a relatively flat profile. There is no indication of a strong central bar feature. 

A population of young, blue stars is visible in the spiral arms, indicative of ongoing star formation. The disk is somewhat clumpy. The overall color is indicative of a relatively massive galaxy with ongoing star formation. There are no obvious signs of a major merger, but there are some minor disturbances.
