I don't think that this information is anywhere. When you assign the Picture
property, you assign a Picture object which does not contain a path.

As usual, the best way to get hold again of lost information is to not lose
it in the first place: you can try to extend the Picture class. Add a Path
property and override Picture's _get() and Load() methods to set the path of
a Picture when its loaded.
