This galaxy presents as a disk galaxy, viewed nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy's major axis, obscuring a significant portion of the central bulge. The bulge itself appears to be somewhat elongated or boxy in shape.

The disk exhibits a mottled texture suggesting active star formation regions scattered throughout. The spiral arms, while not clearly defined due to the edge-on orientation, appear somewhat disturbed or irregular, hinting at potential minor gravitational interactions. 

The colour gradient suggests a relatively active star formation rate, with a significant population of young, blue stars contributing to the overall luminosity, particularly in the outer edges of the disk. The central bulge appears redder, indicative of an older stellar population.
