We study the Sloan Lens ACS (SLACS) survey strong‐lensing system SDSS J1430+4105 at  z  l  = 0.285. The lensed source ( z  s  = 0.575) of this system has a complex morphology with several subcomponents. Its subcomponents span a radial range from 4 to 10 kpc in the plane of the lens. Therefore, we can constrain the slope of the total projected mass profile around the Einstein radius from lensing alone. We measure a density profile that is slightly but not significantly shallower than isothermal at the Einstein radius. We decompose the mass of the lensing galaxy into a de Vaucouleurs component to trace the stars and an additional dark component. The spread of multiple‐image components over a large radial range also allows us to determine the amplitude of the de Vaucouleurs and dark matter components separately. We get a mass‐to‐light ratio of  and a dark matter fraction within the Einstein radius of ≈20 to 40 per cent. Modelling the star formation history assuming composite stellar populations at solar metallicity to the galaxy's photometry yields a mass‐to‐light ratio of  and  for Salpeter and Chabrier initial mass functions, respectively. Hence, the mass‐to‐light ratio derived from lensing is more Salpeter like, in agreement with results for massive Coma galaxies and other nearby massive early‐type galaxies. We examine the consequences of the galaxy group in which the lensing galaxy is embedded, showing that it has little influence on the mass‐to‐light ratio obtained for the de Vaucouleurs component of the lensing galaxy. Finally, we decompose the projected, azimuthally averaged 2D density distribution of the de Vaucouleurs and dark matter components of the lensing signal into spherically averaged 3D density profiles. We can show that the 3D dark and luminous matter density within the Einstein radius ( R  Ein  ≈ 0.6  R  eff ) of this SLACS galaxy is similar to the values of Coma galaxies with the same velocity dispersions.
