Display image in REACT

I am getting an image from backend and trying to display it on the front end using react. I guess that I am not setting properly image into the file when I fetch it. Because, I have the response from the service:

/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEAYABgAAD/2wBDAAg ...

And this is my code:

constructor(props) {
       super(props);
       this.state = {
          file: []
        }
}
fetchPicture(){
     const {match} = this.props
     const id = match.params.id
     const { file } = this.state;
     fetch("/hunter/picture?page=" + id)
       .then(res => res.json())
       .then(file => this.setState({ file }));
   }

render() {
    return(
    <Form>
        <img alt="" src={`data:image/jpg;base64,${this.state.file}`}/>
    </Form>
    )
  }
}

The most important, I have this on my console:

Uncaught (in promise) SyntaxError: Unexpected token � in JSON at position 0

When I send it from backend, I am setting content type of jpg.

HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
        headers.set("Content-Type", "image/jpg");

Could be also the reason for not displaying because react expects json format? Thank you in advance!

No need to use fetch and to parse it as json or base64 when you can just set it as src:

<img alt="" src={"/hunter/picture?page=" + this.props.match.params.id} />
