Caption: Figure 1.

Galaxy cluster PLCKG287. The critical curves from our model are marked in white for a source at ﹩{z}_{\mathrm{phot}}\simeq 3.4﹩, enclosing an area with an effective Einstein radius of ﹩{\theta }_{{\rm{E}}}=49\pm 5^{\prime\prime} ﹩. The multiple images we identify are numbered and marked on the image (“c” stands for “candidate”). Image is constructed using R = F110W, G = F814W+F606W, and B = F475W.
