Victoria Collection Clown

I have a clown sculpture that my brother left me. It is of a clown playing soccer. He has kicked his shoe off and caught it in his hands. He is down on his left knee and has caught his shoe like a goalie would catch a ball. He has red hair, a light red jacket, yellow pants and he has green with white stripes shirt sleeves showing under his coat sleeves and on his stomache. He also as a big pink floppy bow under his chin.Only hisd eyes have make up on them and he has a clasic red clown nose. He has brown shoes with his toes showing on his exposed foot. It is marked "Veronese 1998" and I haven't been able to find anything about it. I mwould love some information on who makes it and what it's approximate value is. Any help os very much appreciated.
