Being not entirely sure of what "saving it for later" might mean,
as the puzzle itself is a standalone .exe file which can be saved
like any other, I will guess that the image itself might be meant,
and have accordingly posted it separately. It was taken directly
from the DAZ3D Web site home page cited above.
The program which makes the puzzles is called "Jigs@wPuzzle2", and
can be downloaded from the Tibo Software site for about US$10 in
its minimum version; google "tibo software" for details.
So far as I can determine, there is no way to directly extract a
standalone image from a puzzle, but, with the full game software,
the source image can be brought up at any desired size within the
puzzle, from which it can be captured* to the Clipboard, imported
into an image editor (zb, XNView**), cropped as desired, and saved
in any supported format.
By the way, searching on "dragon" from the DAZ3D Web site home page
returns more than two hundred hits in graphic index pages; clicking
on an index graphic brings up the corresponding product page, which
has a larger version of the graphic, and clicking on that brings up
an even larger version, usually with multiple variants. For free.
Enjoy.

* To capture the entire screen to the Clipboard, simply press
the [PrintScreen] key; to capture only the currently-active
window, press [Alt] and [PrintScreen] together.
** free image display/editing software which supports hundreds
of graphics formats; google "xnview" for details and downloads,
and google "irfanview" for another very capable similar program.
