We present VLA maps of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7319 at 3.6, 6, and 20 cm. Subarcsecond resolution is achieved at 3.6 and 6 cm. The radio emission exhibits a triple structure on a scale of ∼4" (1.7 kpc). All three components have steep spectra, consistent with synchrotron radiation. We have also analyzed an HST archival, broad-band red image, which contains structure related to the radio components. In particular, a V-shaped feature in the HST image some 3".7 (1.6 kpc) southwest of the nucleus is associated with highly blueshifted emission lines seen in ground-based spectra. We interpret the V-shaped feature as emission from gas compressed by the bow shock driven by the outwardly moving radio plasmoid.
