Where to can I find the lock screen photo that's displayed on my iPhone?

I'm trying to find the original in order to get a print of it but it's a photo I took years ago. Searching doesn't come up with anything on the phone and I've already searched extensively online for an answer with no results.

I'm just looking for a way to view or obtain the photo that is displayed on my lock screen. Other answers indicate that you can hold the photo then click the three dots in the lower right in order to view the photo but all that comes up are options to "Extend Wallpaper" and "Depth Effect". Any actual help that can point me to how to view or edit the photo would be much appreciated!

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 18

Finding a Photo:

There is no way to find it, other than by recollection and by observance. Any thoughts as to when you added this photo to your Photos Library? If so, export your photos to an external hard drive, and then view it any list and sort it by date created. This would file would most likely be found in your Photos Library. If not, then it may be in a file found in the Files app.
