As seen in the screenshots, my wallpaper image changes to default after restart on my desktop but not the sign in page however, the Desktop & Screensaver settings show that I have that image selected as my wallpaper. I believe the issue is the fact that I'm using a 40' Samsung 5 Series smart tv as the monitor. I have a 2018 Mac mini running macOS Monterey 12.3.1.

Yes, I did have that picture on an external hard drive. I dragged and dropped the picture to the Pictures folder in the user folder like you said, then went back into Desktop & Screensaver settings and the picture was there. I selected the picture, restarted my computer and it did not revert to default again. Thank you!!

Do your desktop pictures reside on an external drive? I have my desktop pictures on an external USB drive and continuously had the same problem as you.
I copied some of my desktop pictures to my user (home) folder and I have not had any issues with the desktop picture reverting to default.
