The default finite element shape functions used are 1:st order linear basis functions, and stresses are 1:st derivatives so when chosen will be piecewise constant on each element.
You can improve this by selecting "FEM Discretization" > "(P2/Q2) second order conforming" (or higher finite element shape/basis functions) in the Equation Settings dialog box (resulting in a linear representation of the stresses on each cell).
