Where is the Pictures folder on iCloud?

Good evening (from the UK),

I recently had my Mac repaired and it had to be wiped... good job I have everything backed up to iCloud.

I was editing a wedding album for a client and I can't find the Lightroom file. I realised that Lightroom automatically saves its catalog files to the Pictures folder but I can't find that folder on iCloud, is there anyway to find it? I've tried searching for the LR extension (.lrcat) and it says "searching iCloud Drive" but nothing ever comes up.

I was about 600 photos into this album so id rather not have to start all over again!

MacBook Pro TouchBar and Touch ID, macOS Sierra (10.12.6)

Depending on the options you have turned on in Apple menu > System Preferences > iCloud, files in the iCloud Drive folder, the Desktop, and the Documents folder may be synced to iCloud Drive. Also, if you have iCloud Photo Library turned on, the the Photos Library is synced to iCloud. There is no option for the Users > [username] > Pictures folder to sync to iCloud.
