A (probably) Schulz art auction

The National Cartoonist Society have put together a charity auction to help a family having particular trouble… and they have a piece of Peanuts art for sale.

And this piece is bugging me. It’s familiar… but I can’t tell you where its from. Folks want to be absolutely certain it’s Schulz, and that would be easier if I could point out where it’s from.
