Sometimes optical illusion distorts things. Michelangelo had to make the hands in different sizes so that they would look proportioned.

The same happened with the Pieta sculpture, also by Michelangelo. The arm of Christ is much longer than an arm in real life (it would go bellow Christ's knees if he stood up) but it looks perfectly proportioned (because of optical illusion) when you look at the statue.
