In theory, an infinite number of images is formed.
Now, you would notice that the images keep becoming smaller and smaller. At a certain image, due to the inaccurate position of the mirrors(it is impossible to place them exactly
parallel to each other in practice), the small image will be distorted and not detected by the eye.
Another factor is that real mirrors are not actually perfect reflectors... With each reflection, a bit of light is lost, so the reflected object becomes dimmer and dimmer until it can no longer be seen.
