A sculpture of two people who are sitting on a bench.

The sculpture is of two life size people sitting on a bench. The man is on the left hand side of the bench and the woman is one the right. They're both holding hands(using one hand) In the woman's other hand are some gloves.
The two subjects are dressed in a 70s clothing style with their vests and wool hat. Beside the two people are the woman's purse and a book on child birth. I'm assuming the news is the news that she's pregnant.
The plaque reads: "News by J. Seward Johnson Jr. Sited by sculpture placement, Washington, D. C."
