Create a photorealistic monochrome art portrait in a 4:5 aspect ratio, using the provided reference image. Show an extreme close-up of half of a woman's face emerging from a pure black background. Only the left half of the face is visible, with a striking light gray-green iris and crisp catchlight, long curled eyelashes, a dark arched eyebrow, a straight nose, and full, slightly parted lips. Her expression is calm, melancholic, and mysterious; her intense gaze looks directly at the camera. Show no body or hands.

Make the right side of the face dissolve into scratched vertical brushstrokes, like aged paint or scraped plaster, with grain, dry-brush marks, and ink blots. Blend photographic detail with painting. Use soft, diffused high-key light from the front left, deep velvety shadows, nearly blown highlights, and strong contrast between black areas and luminous whites. Use an 85mm macro lens at f/1.8, with ultra-sharp focus on the eye and film grain.

Avoid color, a full face, another person, a body, hands, plastic-looking skin, an artificial AI-generated appearance, other text, and other watermarks. Add an elegant cursive signature reading ${signature:Marcelo Gallery} in the lower-left corner.
