Ce buffet a été conçu par l'artiste pour son propre usage. Il y a représenté le thème biblique du Jardin d'Eden dans un style associant le primitivisme et le symbolisme.

On remarque la figure divine au centre entre les deux pommiers, au-dessus de la main masculine et de la main féminine qui se rejoignent presque.
