We have made a serendipitous discovery of a blue arclike structure 8 " sout
heast of RGB 1745+398 (z = 0.267) during deep imaging of X-ray and radio se
lected BL Lacertae candidates. The spectrum of the are resembles that of a
late-type galaxy with three spectral features ([O II] emission, Mg Ir absor
ption and 4000 Angstrom break) that indicate z = 1.057. We interpret the ar
e as a gravitationally enhanced image of a background galaxy and the observ
ed velocity splitting of the [O II] line (350 km s(-1)) as due to its rotat
ion, although we cannot rule out the possibility that the source consists o
f a pair of background galaxies. We find the host galaxy of RGB 1745+398 to
be the brightest duster member (M-R = -24.9) of a moderately massive clust
er that most likely provides the lensing mass. From simple considerations w
e obtain M similar to 1.3 x 10(13) M-. and M/L-B similar to 60 for the cent
ral part (r < 40 h(50)(-1) kpc) of the cluster.
