Strange Behavior for PHP Embedded in Img ‘src’ Attribute

I would like to dynamically display an image using a WordPress template without either relying upon a featured image or an Advanced Custom Fields image field. Here is the coder in my ‘header.php’ template thus far:

<?php
$srcImage = wp_get_attachment_image('254', 'medium');
$imgSrcSet = array(
                   'Large' => wp_get_attachment_image_srcset('254', 'large'),
                   'Full Width' => wp_get_attachment_image_srcset('254', 'full-width')
             );
?>

<img src="<?php echo $srcImage; ?>" srcset="<?php echo $imgSrcSet; ?>" alt="" ?>

My ‘front-page.php’ template includes this header programmatically:

<?php get_header(); ?>

When I render to my web browser, the image appears in its correct image size, but right after the image the following text appears:

" srcset="Array" alt="" />

When I inspect the image in my web browser, it reveals the following code:

<img src="<img width=" 300"="" height="200" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" loading="lazy" srcset="http://wp-image-size-test.local/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/book_5472x3648-300x200.jpg 300w, http://wp-image-size-test.local/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/book_5472x3648-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http://wp-image-size-test.local/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/book_5472x3648-768x512.jpg 768w, http://wp-image-size-test.local/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/book_5472x3648-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, http://wp-image-size-test.local/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/book_5472x3648-2048x1365.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px">

The srcset attribute value includes the various WP auto-generate image versions and their default sizes, but the src attribute does not depict the image’s path in my site.

Your feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
