Let us consider the figure shown below

Due to the converging lense $\mathrm{L}_1$ is at the focal point the point image formed $\mathrm{I}_1$ and due to the converging lense $\mathrm{L}_2$, the final image formed is I which is point image, so it behave like a point source of rays hence the wavefront for this image will be spherical symmetry.
