The galaxy appears as a moderately inclined spiral with a prominent, concentrated bulge. The bulge exhibits a yellow-orange hue, suggesting an older stellar population. The spiral arms are somewhat tightly wound and not highly resolved, showing a bluer color than the bulge region, which is indicative of ongoing star formation, although the overall rate of star formation appears to be relatively low. The disk component is visible but not highly extended. There are hints of dust lanes within the spiral structure, obscuring some of the starlight. There is some evidence of morphological disturbance in the disk, such as slight asymmetries in the arm structure. The overall morphology indicates a galaxy that is somewhere between a classic spiral and a more lenticular form.
