Sorry. answered my phone and ran out of time to finish the above.
I based on my answer on your having a painted copy. But I can't tell from the photos if it is that, or it it's a print or a reproduction. Obviously, whatever it is seriously affects whether or not it's worth listing, as well, since this is a massively-reproduced item.

Forgive me if I'm telling you what yo already know, but this is a copy of Pierre-Auguste Renoir's "Child with a Whip." (1885, oil on canvas, original in the Hermitage.)
Whether or not it is worth listing is, I'd say,. based on how well executed it is and that's something I can\t determine based on the photos.

You're welcome.
But just to be sure what you have:
Have you looked at them through a loupe? Did you see dots, which is what I suspect? If it's a traditional, non-mechanical, lithograph, you'll see a sort of stippled pattern all over but any dots are rather small, vary somewhat in size, are in no set pattern. If the dots are uniform in size and in a regular pattern, it's mechanical photo-offset lithograph, a mass-produced reproduction. (The former has more value than the latter.)
If you don't see dots with the loupe, what do you see?
