Such a simple background (2 colors, smooth transition, no structure, small fine details) can be easily recreate by hand using frequency separation method.
Idea is to have one layer for the background colors and one layer for the background texture.
An example:
The "background colors" layer is created using the gradient tool (but you can also use a big soft brush)
To create the "original details" layer:
1) duplicate the original one
2) set the blending mode of the new layer to "Grain extract"
3) apply a Filters > Blur > Gaussian blur... with small sizes
4) merge down
The "new details" layer is filled with the Clone tool, taking content from the "original details" layer.
The original image is put on top with a layer mask to reveal the arm and have a smooth transition between the original background and the new one.
