long-faced
Wearing sad expression
Long-faced describes someone with a gloomy or melancholy expression, as if their face has been pulled downward by sadness or disappointment: Everyone was long-faced after the team's loss.
The literal sense—having a face that is physically elongated—exists but appears less often than the figurative one.
