Even a slight tap on the wall from a cat could bring a picture crashing down...if the room is draughty then the pictures in that room are all at risk from breaking, so get them all out of there or nail them in. Yes, it depends how the painting was attached to the wall. It it was on a string over a nail, the string could fray in time and break. If it was nailed in, the mortar could crumble and it could become wobbly. If it was glued in, the glue could 'fail' after a while or the glue could come off taking the layer of paint with it.
