Title says it all.
What is the path, please ?
They should be in /System/Library/Desktop Pictures
And, if you are interested, you can find all the default desktop wallpaper images for every release of OS X/macOS here:

A discovery:
/System/Library/Desktop Pictures/ is not hidden, but
/System/Library/Desktop Pictures/.wallpapers
and
/System/Library/Desktop Pictures/.thumbnails
are hidden and contain what looks like all the rest of the files I was looking for.
You asked about Wallpapers. Wallpapers are static. They're not the same as "the ones that change by time."
Dynamic Desktop pictures are located in one or both of these places:
/Library/Application Support/com.apple.idleassetsd/Customer/4KSDR240FPS
/System/Library/Desktop Pictures ... but that folder is hidden. Use the Finder GO command to navigate there. Look for any .heic and/or .mov files.
... but only the default Dynamic images + any optional images you may have downloaded will be there.
The Wallpaper panel of System Settings shows static, dynamic and others
I am guessing that all the choices are not actually on the system by default, thus the down-arrow-download icons on many.
By the way, there is a /Library/Desktop Pictures folder as well.
Your responses were a but frustrating, but ultimately helpful.
My sincere thanks to you.
Some are, but not all.
Like the ones that change by time
