The galaxy appears as an edge-on spiral, with a prominent, bright central bulge that seems largely smooth and rounded. There is some indication of a disk component, but it is seen at a high inclination and without significant resolved spiral structure. There is evidence of some minor tidal disturbance or perhaps a past interaction, as the galaxy's structure appears to be slightly disturbed. The galaxy exhibits a reddish hue, possibly indicating an older stellar population and lower ongoing star formation.
