Head downstairs and locate the chest near the opening to the basement. Interact with it and use your necklace to open it to collect the third picture.

Before you head downstairs, turn your back to the chest and look at the green soapbox car here. Note that the number on it is 13.

Now, head down into the basement and follow the path until you come to the locked basement door. To the left of the door is a wall with three spaces on it, a space for each picture. The shadow markings on the wall indicate which picture should be placed where as the shapes match a specific one.

Place the pictures in this order from left to right:

  • Young man and his pregnant wife
  • Mother and son
  • Young boy in a soapbox car

The code to unlock the basement door is hidden in the pictures, however the third picture doesn't have a number in it. Instead, the number is the one on the soapbox car you found in the room with the chest in it.

The solution to Vitalis' basement puzzle is 32-17-13.
