We present JWST NIRCam 9-band near-infrared imaging of the luminous $z=10.6$galaxy GN-z11 from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) of theGOODS-N field. We find a spectral energy distribution (SED) entirely consistentwith the expected form of a high-redshift galaxy: a clear blue continuum from1.5 to 4 microns with a complete dropout in F115W. The core of GN-z11 isextremely compact in JWST imaging. We analyze the image with a two-componentmodel, using a point source and a S\'{e}rsic profile that fits to a half-lightradius of 200 pc and an index $n=0.9$. We find a low-surface brightness hazeabout $0.4''$ to the northeast of the galaxy, which is most likely a foregroundobject but might be a more extended component of GN-z11. At a spectroscopicredshift of 10.60 (Bunker et al. 2023), the comparison of the NIRCam F410M andF444W images spans the Balmer jump. From population synthesis modeling, hereassuming no light from an active galactic nucleus, we reproduce the SED ofGN-z11, finding a stellar mass of $\sim$$10^{9}~M_{\odot}$, a star-formationrate of $\sim$$20~M_{\odot}~\mathrm{yr}^{-1}$ and a young stellar age of$\sim$$20~\mathrm{Myr}$. As massive galaxies at high redshift are likely to behighly clustered, we search for faint neighbors of GN-z11, finding 9 galaxiesout to $\sim$5 comoving Mpc transverse with photometric redshifts consistentwith $z=10.6$, and a 10$^{\rm th}$ more tentative dropout only $3''$ away. Thisis consistent with GN-z11 being hosted by a massive dark-matter halo($\approx8\times10^{10}~M_{\odot}$), though lower halo masses cannot be ruledout.
