Create a high-quality, realistic vertical photograph using the face from the reference image without changes or distortion. Preserve the recognizable facial features exactly.

Depict a dark supernatural Victorian scene: a woman stands directly in front of a huge antique floor mirror in a dim old room. The camera is behind and slightly to her right, showing the back and three-quarter silhouette of her real body in the foreground while her face is clearly visible in the mirror reflection. She stands very close to the mirror, shoulders relaxed, looking straight at her reflection with a serious, motionless expression. Both hands are held together at chest level around a single tall, burning candle.

She wears a long vintage ivory-white nightgown with a fitted corset-like bodice, square neckline, short voluminous puff sleeves with ruffled edges, and a long flowing skirt. Her hair must have exactly the same structure and length as in the reference image, partially gathered loosely at the back while the remaining length falls naturally down her back, with several curled strands framing her face in the reflection. Do not specify or change the hair color. Keep natural facial proportions and realistic skin texture, without plastic smoothness.

The mirror is enormous and vertically elongated, surrounded by an ornate antique carved gold frame with elaborate Baroque scrollwork. In the reflection, directly behind the woman, stands a terrifying, tall humanoid demon that is completely absent from the physical foreground. It towers over her by more than a head, leaning slightly forward out of the darkness. The creature has an emaciated humanlike torso with pronounced ribs, long thin arms, pointed ears, a skeletal, distorted face, sharp teeth, two enormous curved ram-like horns, and intensely glowing orange-red eyes. Its body gradually disappears into darkness below the waist.

The candle flame is the primary warm light source, illuminating the woman's reflected face, hands, neckline, and the lower part of the demon's face, while the room remains submerged in deep green-gray shadows. The demon's glowing eyes add a faint, unnatural red-orange reflection around their sockets. Include subtle atmospheric haze, old dark walls, deep shadows, realistic mirror reflections, slight analog grain, and low-light softness. Use a cinematic supernatural-horror photography style; make the result realistic and unsettling, rather than an illustration or 3D render.

Place a two-line author signature at the bottom of the image. The top line is “${top-signature:By Annet}” in luxurious, elegant calligraphic script with flowing handwritten lettering and high-contrast strokes. The bottom line is “${bottom-signature:prompt: @annet_k.01}” in a smaller, simple, clean sans-serif printed font, clearly readable.
