Hello Lusaka,
Thank you for your question.
I am posting my answer in reply to your clarification saying that the
print I located is the information you’re looking for.
Currently there is one Nelson Mandela mint condition lithograph
available on E-bay. The vendor is from the UK but ships worldwide. The
auction ends in a little over two days. The vendor is a registered
member since March 2000 and has an excellent rating and 100% positive
feedback reviews. You can view photos of the lithograph as well.

Here is the complete description of the product:
“This is a unique opportunity to acquire an original handmade signed
lithograph by the world's greatest living statesman, Nelson Mandela.
This is part of a series entitled 'My Robben Island' and comprises 5
colour images from the island.
The charcol and pastel images were sketched and completed by Nelson
Mandela between March and June 2002.
The Litho for sale depicts the view into Nelson Mandela's prison cell
through the open door. The few possesions that prisoners were allowed
have been emphasised in color, as they are a symbolic link with a
reality outside the harsh prison regime. The meagre possessions
typically included letters and photographs of family and friends -
pieces of paper that acquired tremendous emotional value to prisoners.
The Litho is signed and numbered (18 out of 500) six colour print and
has been printed on Velin BFK Rives paper.
It will be shipped in the original tube I received it in. I have only
taken it out the tube to photograph it.
The COA will also be supplied.
Please email me with any questions.
Condition: Mint”

In addition I located a number of articles that reveal how much Nelson
Mandela artwork sells for.
Prisoner, president, author... now artist
February 8 2003
By Merope Mills
London
“A set of 20 lithographs went on sale yesterday. At $US2600 ($A4395)
to $US3000 a copy, they may seem a little expensive for simple line
drawings shaded with blocks of colour. But their subject is the
notorious former apartheid prison Robben Island, and the artist is
Nelson Mandela.
An exhibition of Mr Mandela's new artwork opened at the island
yesterday; it is the second series of charcoal and pastel drawings of
his prison home of 18 years. The first appeared at London's Belgravia
Gallery last year.”

Mandela Paints His Former Prison
February 12, 2003
Mandela Paints His Jailhouse Years by RACHEL L. SWARNS
“The signed lithographs, which include two of Mr. Mandela's
handprints, are being sold by the Belgravia Gallery in London for
prices ranging from $2,600 for an individual drawing to $15,150 for a
set of six drawings. By the end of the night, two British businessmen
had spent more than $200,000 at the auction to acquire the artist's
proofs.” http://radio.weblogs.com/0116791/stories/2003/02/12/mandelaPaintsHisFormerPrison.html

Mandela the Artist
“An exhibition of five charcoal and pastel drawings depicting Robben
Island, where Mandela spent 18 of his 27-year-long imprisonment, has
been put on display at the Belgravia Gallery in central London. The
pictures were created after a return visit to the island prison, which
is off the coast of Cape Town, earlier this year. The drawings and
handwritten captions portray a different image of the apartheid
regime's darkest symbol than one might at first expect. Instead of
revealing a vision of hopelessness, Mandela's art shows a Robben
Island of light and color. At US$8450 per print, proceeds from the
sale of Mandela's work, comprising 500 signed lithograph copies of the
original drawings, will go to AIDS research.”
