Placed above Watson is a photo of a family. It is used in contrast to the Black and White photo shown above Jack within the same scene and space.
Perhaps it speaks to the generational issues shown in the film or the generational lineage of the wealthy.
The source novel establishes Watson with a familial connection to The Overlook, but it’s never mentioned in the film.
