To: Hebrews 11:6
The Annunciation has been the subject of great paintings and drawings. Many, many favorites here. This one by Gerard David (1510, Bruges)was part of a large polyptych. These panels were meant to be seen from below, thus David altered the perspective and scale of the figures.

Curious: Why not simply tilt them forward? Doing so would put them in shadow?
