Try this Alternative of urllib.urlretrieve in Python 3.5 If you are using python 3.5 and above may be this is the right approach

Tag name you have selected is div but it is an img tag.So change your xpath to locate the element.

img = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//img[@id="auth-captcha-image"]')
src = img.get_attribute('src')
