The galaxy presents as an edge-on spiral. There is a prominent central bulge that seems to gently fade into a disk. Dust lanes are not clearly visible in the image, but the disk does appear to be slightly warped along the major axis. There is a distinct luminosity gradient, with the central bulge exhibiting the highest surface brightness. The overall color of the galaxy is yellowish, suggestive of an older stellar population with some signs of ongoing star formation. There appears to be no significant tidal disturbance or signs of a major merger event.
