I have a great wallpaper on my iphone (7 running ios 13) but no longer have the image (it’s a painting by my young son.)
Is there any way to grab that image in it’s entirety and save it as an image again? I have a Macbook Pro and ipad Mini 5 to help with looking/transferring files etc,.

Was it in your Photos library? Did you have a backup? Did you look in your recently deleted album in Photos to see if it is in there?
As far as I know the wallpaper you see is in temporary storage location and I'm not sure there is any way to get at it.
You could take a screenshot of it. If you have it on your lock screen and Home screen you can take a screenshot from the lock screen, and then one from a Home screen with only one icon on it. Then you could edit those two together to get most of the image.
If you have a lot of time and patience you may be able to extract it from a direct backup of your iPhone to your Mac. It would involve doing the backup, then looking in your user Library folder at Application Support/MobileSync/Backup and then digging through all of the files and data there. You may find it there, and you may not.
How do I get a photo from home screen and print it out
Kate: Do you mean print your Desktop picture? What is your Desktop picture? Is it one of Apple's defaults? Something from your Photos library? Something else?
