Explanation:
Adverb:
It modifies a verb, adjective, another adverb or group of words. In this example adverb down is modifying verb fell.
Preposition:
Typical definition of preposition in most of the dictionaries/online resources include that a preposition is used before non, noun phrase, pronoun or -ing form of verb, And they usually show a relationship between two nearby words.

We have to use a preposition <em>on</em> or <em>in</em> to show portrait's relation with table or tub. This shows, since there is no word to show portrait's relation, so no preposition is used.
