English term or phrase: a look of suffering

Greetings,

I am trying to find out the correct Russian for “a look of suffering”.

You can find the term near the bottom of the page.

If it's possible to find Tolstoy’s original words, so much the better, but if this is impossible, not to worry – I'd still be interested to see how you translate the phrase.

All the best, and many thanks,

Simon

выражалось страдание

Explanation:
Когда княжна выходила от графини, Николай опять встретил ее и особенно торжественно и сухо ... Она сидела так же неподвижно, и на нежном лице ее выражалось страдание. ... И опять взгляд его принял прежнее сухое и холодное выражение. ...
