I believe I have a lithograph by Juan Garcia Rijolle’s - Lady with Guitar It is signed in pencil lower right Rijolle’s-69 And left side HC I did drop the whole item so the back paper is broke in spots but has not been ripped enough to see the back of this item. I kinda want to rip it off but will wait until advised The frame broke- but is fixable - it is beautiful unto itself - I’d like to know 1) if it is a real litho 2) what it is worth 3) where to sell it if I chose to

Hello, this item is a vintage color lithograph signed Rijolles and dated 69. The composition shows a stylized female figure with a guitar, rendered with loose linear textures and soft tonal fields typical of mid twentieth century French and Spanish school graphic work. The signature, date, and HC marking indicate an hors commerce impression, which is common for artists proofs distributed outside the commercial edition. The technique, color layering, and paper tone are consistent with authentic lithographic printing from that period, and the wear you see on the backing paper and frame relates to age and handling, not to the artwork itself.
You can expect a value in the range of 150 to 300 USD for this type of decorative mid century lithograph, depending on condition and market demand. The broken frame reduces presentation value, so re framing improves saleability. You can sell it through general auction platforms, local auction houses, or online marketplaces that handle decorative fine art. The piece has collectible appeal as a dated and signed mid century print, although the market remains modest for this specific artist.
