Note: This lot and the following three lots are believed to be seven members of the same family, all painted by Sheldon Peck. While in the famous collection of Bernard Barenholtz, they were united as a family, although at other times they have been lost to each other. While they are all gathered here as a family once again, we are selling them as four separate lots.
