his face was a picture
chociaż, jak widać z googla, czesto potem dodaje się jakieś określenie (amazment, surptise, dissapointment), ale ja to częśto słyszę on its own, żeby wrazić jak coś niespodziwanego "wyrysowało się" na czyjejś minie.

He lost his countenance
Taki bardziej formalny (i bardziej literacki) wariant. Tylko w tym przypadku odnosimy się do "rzednięcia miny" w sensie utraty pewności siebie, nie dobrego humoru.

Wyciągnąłem pokwitowanie przyjęcia pisma i pokazałem urzędniczce. Mina jej zrzedła, zrozumiała, że nie może traktować mnie jak natrętnego petenta - słuszność była po mojej stronie.
