The radio source 1404+286 was observed with global VLBI arrays at 5 and 1.67 GHz in 1990.88 and 1991.45, respectively. High quality maps are presented in this paper, and show the source to be resolved at both frequencies with a core-jet like structure extending about 6 mas in position angle about -145 deg. The jet direction is similar in both maps. 1404+286 has often been used in the past as a flux density calibrator or a phase referencing source. The results show that this source is not an ideal calibrator on VLBI scales.
