The galaxy presents as a somewhat elongated, cigar-shaped structure. It has a centrally concentrated, luminous bulge that appears smooth in texture. Surrounding the bulge is a disk component that is less prominent and displays a mottled texture, hinting at some degree of star formation. The color distribution indicates a generally older stellar population, particularly in the central bulge which shows a reddish-yellow hue. The outer disk regions appear slightly bluer, suggesting the presence of younger, hotter stars, although not intensely so. There is a possible faint dust lane or other internal structure that might cause some of the mottling within the disk. Overall, the galaxy exhibits characteristics of a relatively quiescent system with moderate levels of ongoing star formation.
