The galaxy appears to be a disk galaxy, observed edge-on. A prominent dust lane bisects the galaxy along its major axis, obscuring light from the galactic plane. The central bulge is visible, appearing somewhat rounded. The overall color is reddish, suggesting an older stellar population and possibly significant dust obscuration. No spiral arm structure is discernible. There is no obvious evidence of a major ongoing merger, though subtle disturbances cannot be ruled out at this resolution. The galaxy presents a generally smooth appearance, with a noticeable absence of bright star-forming regions.
