a wallpaper as in a bmp or jpg?

Those kinds of files are “flat” or layerless. Because of that theres no real way to extract something like the background imagery because the foreground on top has covered up and removed the background space it occupies.

You might want to try contacting the author to get the actual background alone

(If I get you right)
