The woman is looking to her right, and her hands are resting on the bench. The painting is done in a realistic style, with attention to detail in the woman's clothing and the surroundings. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of calmness in the scene. If you like this painting, you might also want to check out the work of Mikhail Nesterov.
