Yolanda Bello is the artist/sculptor and she did a lot of dolls for Ashton Drake as well as other companies.
You may not be able to find this exact doll as there are hundreds of Yolanda Bello dolls listed for sale online and some have sold.
Value is based on sold prices so all that can be provided is a general idea of what other similar Yolanda Bello dolls have sold for.
Judy provided the average sold price for these dolls:
sold prices $4 - $25.

This particular doll has a very cute expression and could be valued a little higher. The biggest problem with selling dolls is the market is triple flooded with all kinds of dolls which means dolls are one of the slowest selling items online right now.

Identifying this boy was really not easy. He looks like "Paul" baseball player doll by Yolanda Bello www.ebay.com/.../273825156991, but better. Edition of Paul ended in 1993.

Yolanda Bello has been sculpting dolls and figurines since 1970. Her porcelain dolls are known for their lifelike expression. The company she founded, Bello Creations, produced her more expensive limited edition studio pieces but she also designed dolls which were produced in mass editions, for example for Ashton-Drake. Most of her doll are children and babies with wonderful expressions.
