Here's some of Hebborn's work: http://mountshang.blogspot.com/2009/11/which-is-fake.html
Question One: Do "the lines tend towards sentiment. Very gooey." ? -- in either the Corot or Hebborn's copy? Question Two: Does your answer to Question One have any relevance to the determination of authenticity? And -- here's some more Hebborns: http://mountshang.blogspot.com/2009/11/portrait-of-artist-as-reprobate.html Question Three: Of all the kinds of decisions that art experts are required to make -- which ones are more important than those regarding authenticity? And yes, Hebborn did sometimes need to fool at least two teams of experts: first, the ones working for the dealer or auction house, and second, the ones working for a major museum. We can assume that both the buyer and the seller wanted to get the best deals -- but they also needed to protect their reputations.. So I don't think your spin-meistering, here, Kate, is all that convincing. Hebborn fooled the experts -- so he is something of an expert himself. >You know, I read that recently. And what Heborn meant wasn't that these things were relevant to the visual artists, but the forgers. He didn't fool multiple teams of experts, he fooled people who wanted to make a sale and those who wanted to buy smething cheap. I hope you looked carefully at the drawings. His tend to be on the light side in their values and the lines tend towards sentiment. Very gooey.
