Ventura desktop and wallpaper pictures location?

Trying to add one new picture to Wallpaper rotation but can't find a folder or "Add picture" button. Settings shows we're randomly applying "Apple collection," which contains all my pre-Ventura screen pics, but I can't find a way to add one. Thanks.

MacBook Pro 14″

you can add wall paper—drop your wall paper in this folder, from Finder>Go>Go To Folder , copy & paste:

/Library/Desktop Pictures






the newer location included /System, there is no r/w access to:

/System/Library/Desktop Pictures



Customize the desktop picture on your Mac - Apple Support
