I think if the person is pointing, it's not in the direction indicated by the red line. I'd say it's more like this:

But to me this looks more like a didactic finger gesture and not actually pointing towards anything, because the person is looking the other way.

I plotted the line as an extension of the arm since the finger gesture is too short for direction identification.

In medieval manuscripts, it is common for the persons to look straight or to each other while doing something else (even when out stargazing on a balcony).

Men 'observing' the stars, while at the same time looking at each other.

From Bartholomaeus Anglicus' De Proprietatibus rerum, Italy (Mantua), c. 1300-1310, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view., f. 108.

The real stars are the friends they made along the way.
