The image link needs to be a public direct download link.

You can check this by copy/paste the url into a browser, which should start a direct download of the file immediately.

It was missing the first “ after the src=

Try this code:

<img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=download&id=11XwOqsG4GVmowdmbHbMQ_kRpCWy70hHp" width="500" height="150">
