The galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, viewed at a near edge-on orientation. A prominent central bulge is visible, exhibiting a bright, concentrated luminosity profile. The bulge appears relatively smooth and featureless. Surrounding the bulge is a thin, flattened disk. The disk shows some evidence of internal structure, including hints of spiral arm segments and dust lanes. The color of the bulge is generally more yellow/white, suggesting an older stellar population, while the disk shows a bluer hue, indicative of younger, hotter stars and ongoing star formation. The outer edges of the disk appear somewhat irregular and less defined. There is subtle evidence of possible tidal disturbances or interactions.
