The double quasar 00957 + 561 A,B along with bright radio arches and VLBI structures is modelled using a gravitational lens consisting of an elliptical galaxy and a cluster. The effective time-delay between components A and B comes out to be about a year and this enables one to distinguish between intensity fluctuations resulting from intrinsic quasar variations and minilensing by low mass stars.
