The galaxy presents as a disk galaxy seen nearly edge-on. A prominent dust lane is visible, obscuring the central bulge and causing a distinct dark band along the major axis. The bulge appears relatively small and centrally concentrated. The disk exhibits a smooth texture, suggesting a relatively quiescent star formation history. The galaxy's overall color appears blue-ish, but with some redder regions at either end of the major axis. This suggests the presence of older stellar populations or dustier regions further from the galactic center. There is no visually evident sign of any ongoing major merger or significant tidal interaction; the galaxy appears undisturbed.
