It utilizes a combination of crayon, gouache, pastel, and paper as mediums and is a part of the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. The dimensions of the artwork are 43.3 x 32 cm, and it falls within the genre of religious painting.

Aaron is depicted with a contemplative expression, standing beside a grand menorah, with its branches and candles prominently lit, casting a warm and luminous glow. The technique combines various mediums to create a texturally rich and visually compelling composition, characteristic of Chagall’s signature style. The use of crayon, gouache, and pastel contributes to the depth and vibrancy, drawing the viewer into the historical and spiritual significance of the consecration ceremony.
