From Part IV of the poem "The Lady of Shalott" by Alfred Lord Tennyson, we learn that "the Lady of Shalott is looking toward Camelot." This specific detail about her gaze and longing is something that may not be explicitly conveyed in the painting by John William Waterhouse. Therefore, the correct response is:

that the Lady of Shalott is looking toward Camelot.
