If you used purely iCloud backup then quite possibly.

OR

If you use iCloud Photos then it depends how they were removed.

: If you actively deleted them then no, they're gone.

: If in Settings, Your name, iCloud, Photos is turned off, try turning it back on,

If you have access to an iPad or computer, sign into iCloud.com and look for photos there.
