The galaxy exhibits a distinct, elongated shape, appearing as a cigar-like structure viewed edge-on. Its light profile is dominated by a smooth, centrally concentrated bulge which fades towards the edges. There appears to be little evidence of distinct spiral arm structure or significant dust lanes. The galaxy presents a yellowish hue overall, suggesting a population of older stars. There is no obvious sign of ongoing major merger activity. The galaxy appears relatively undisturbed and isolated.
