The galaxy appears to be a spiral galaxy, observed at an oblique angle, approaching edge-on orientation. A prominent central bulge exhibits a concentrated, yellowish-orange hue, suggestive of an older stellar population. Fainter spiral arms extend from the central bulge, appearing somewhat disrupted or flocculent in nature. Patches of bluer light, indicative of recent star formation, are sparsely distributed along the spiral arms. The disk of the galaxy displays moderate dust lanes obscuring some of the starlight. Overall, the galaxy shows signs of ongoing or recent star formation, possibly triggered by interactions or disturbances. No pronounced signs of a major ongoing merger are readily apparent.
