Reading a Base64 image in front-end with express

I'm setting up a project, and I decided that the best alternative was to save the images in Base64 and save it in the database. This is OK, all right. However, when I need to render them on the front end, the following is not working, for some reason, can someone help me?

<img class="whatever" src="<%= datasetresult[1].photo%>">

When I look at the browser console, Base64 is there, so I don't understand why it isn't rendering.

HELP!

EDIT

That is the console of Chrome

The src tag of images can accept base64 strings, if you specify the type. For example, if you have a jpeg image, you need to prefix the base64 string with data:image/jpeg;base64,.

If you have SVG (with or without raster data), you need to use data:image/svg+xml;base64,.
