extreme close-up
Explanation:

Extreme close-up.
A minutely detailed view of an object or a person. An extreme close-up of an actor generally includes only his eyes, or his mouth.
http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~engl377/film.html

The extreme close-up shot is traditionally used in film to allow the viewer to enter the character’s intimate space, revealing certain characteristics and emotions that would otherwise go unnoticed from afar.

Found this definition, but I don't think it is applicable in English:

Quindi, ecco la differenza sostanziale: quando concentriamo l'attenzione su una specifica parte di un personaggio, parliamo di particolare; nel caso di un oggetto, parliamo di dettaglio.

agree  ChananZass: Doesn't have to be "extreme," though. In scripts such shots are defined as "close on...", as in "close on smoking gun". One can always say "extremely close on pen while writing..."
