De Vaucouleurs Atlas Description:

This small spiral has only a weak trace of a bar; its reality is uncertain in blue light. The inner pseudoring , on the other hand, is well defined and is made of two strong spiral arms. The general tightness and patchiness of the arms, as well as the strength of the bulge, are the basis for the Sb classification.
