I utilized the clipPath
method to trim and position the image within a rectangle.
<svg width="600" height="200" viewBox="0 0 600 200" >
<defs>
<clipPath id="field">
<rect x="25" y="5" width="550" height="190" rx="25" ry="25" style="fill:none; stroke: black; stroke-width:1;" />
</clipPath>
</defs>
<image xlink:href=" https://i.sstatic.net/MJkK0.jpg" width="600" height="200" clip-path="url(#field)" />
</svg>
If you prefer using a different shape for the border instead of a rectangle, like a circle, it can easily be achieved by replacing the rectangle with a circle inside the clipPath
.
An alternative suggested by Paulie_D, though it may require some adjustments
If you wish to add a frame around the image, you can incorporate a second transparent rectangle with a border
<rect width="300" height="100" style="fill:none; stroke: black; stroke-width:3;" />
<svg width="400" height="110">
<defs>
<pattern id="field" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="300" height="100">
<image xlink:href=" https://i.sstatic.net/MJkK0.jpg" x="-20" y="0" width="350" height="130" />
</pattern>
</defs>
<rect width="300" height="100" fill="url(#field)" />
<rect width="300" height="100" style="fill:none; stroke: black; stroke-width:3;" />
</svg>
UPDATE
A black frame can create a somber appearance, let's switch it out for a shadow effect.
To generate a shadow, a Gaussian filter is applied to blur the edges of the bottom rectangle.
<filter id="filtershadow" width="120%" height="120%">
<feGaussianBlur in="SourceAlpha" stdDeviation="4"/>
</filter>
<body>
<svg width="400" height="110">
<defs>
<filter id="filtershadow" width="120%" height="120%">
<feGaussianBlur in="SourceAlpha" stdDeviation="4"/>
</filter>
<pattern id="field" patternUnits="userSpaceOnUse" width="300" height="100">
<image xlink:href=" https://i.sstatic.net/MJkK0.jpg" x="0" y="0" width="350" height="130" />
</pattern>
</defs>
<rect class="rect-shadow" x="10" y="14" width="290" height="90" filter="url(#filtershadow)" style="fill:black; " />
<rect width="300" height="100" fill="url(#field)" />
