What does 'closed expression' mean?

A closed expression appeared on his face.
  

Top answer

When a person shows emotion, his face is usually where one looks for interpretation (except in some countries where the arms do most of the talking). The eyes, mouth, and eyebrows reflect what thoughts or mood the person is expressing. When one can relax all of these and ‘keep a straight face’ or a ‘composed look’, the expression (or lack of it) is a ‘closed’ one.
