Windows 10: How to save my lock screen image separately to disc

Windows 10. I cannot find the source of my lock screen image which I have had for a very long time. I have searched EVERY image on my computer. It is a very valuable image and I want to save it to disc (eg. as a separate independant jpg etc.) as a safety precaution in case it disappears from my startup routine, following a fault, and gets lost, or to use it elsewhere.

How can I do that please?

Thanks.

:)
