Exegesis
The prepositional phrase plen tes gynaikos {πλὴν τῆς γυναικός | plēn tēs gy-nai-kós} ‘except the woman’ restricts the object of His gaze and highlights her isolation by excluding all others.
In context — John 8:10
But Jesus , having stood up and seeing no one except the woman, said to her, “Where are they, your accusers ? Has no one condemned you?”
