This specific example is not an effect, this is likely part of the photo as taken.

What image are you starting with?

Yes, this a "drop shadow" (Filters>Light and shadow>Drop shadow). But this requires the table and the background to be on different layers (in other words, you have to cut out the tables if currently you have a single layer), because the shadows are under the tables and over the background.

You can try the gimp drop shadow, but not easy to get the offsets correct.

Really it is a job for an artist who can take into account existing light and shadow, however you can fake it in (roughly) using a selection filled with a gradient.

I am no artist so I got this.
