The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. There is a prominent central bulge, which appears to be mostly smooth and elliptical in shape, with the suggestion of being rounded. The disk is thin and elongated, indicating that its constituent stars and dust are primarily confined to a single plane. It is difficult to discern any spiral structure, but it does show general signs of being more structured than perfectly smooth. The galaxy has an overall orange-red hue suggesting it is comprised of older stars. No signs of active star formation are evident from the image. There is no apparent major disturbance, such as a strong tidal tail or other signs of a recent merger. There may be some faint indications of a minor disturbance or asymmetry in the disk on the edge of the galaxy. The galaxy's brightness profile declines smoothly from the bulge outwards.
