What is claimed is: 1. An optical system, comprising, in order from an object side: a first lens group; a second lens group having positive refractive power; and a third lens group having positive refractive power, wherein the first lens group and the third lens group are fixed in an optical axis direction while the second lens group is moved in the optical axis direction to focus on from an object at infinity to an object at a finite distance, and the following conditions are satisfied: 1.90< Nd 1  (1) 0< Cr 1 f/f   (2) where Nd 1 represents a refractive index of a lens disposed closest to the object side in the first lens group on a d-line, Cr 1 f represents a radius of curvature of a surface closest to the object side in the first lens group, and f represents a focal length of the entire optical system. 2. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein a surface closest to an image side in the first lens group satisfies a following condition: 0< Cr 1 r/f   (3) where Cr 1 r represents a radius of curvature of a surface closest to an image side in the first lens group. 3. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the second lens group satisfies the following condition: 0.4< f 2/ f< 3.0  (4) where f 2 represents a focal length of the second lens group, and f represents the focal length of the entire optical system. 4. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein a surface closest to the object side in the second lens group satisfies the following condition: 0< Cr 2 f/f   (5) where Cr 2 f represents a radius of curvature of a surface closest to the object side in the second lens group. 5. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein a surface closest to an image side in the first lens group and a surface closest to the object side in the second lens group satisfy the following condition: 0.65< Cr 2 f/Cr 1 r< 2.00  (6) where Cr 1 r represents a radius of curvature of the surface closest to the image side in the first lens group, and Cr 2 f represents a radius of curvature of the surface closest to the object side in the second lenses group. 6. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the second lens group includes at least one lens having negative refractive power, and the lens having negative refractive power satisfies the following condition: 0.50<( R 1+ R 2)/( R 1− R 2)<5.00  (7) where R 1 represents a radius of curvature of an object-side surface of the lens having negative refractive power included in the second lens group, and R 2 represents a radius of curvature of an image-side surface of the lens having negative refractive power included in the second lens group. 7. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the second lens group includes at least one lens having negative refractive power, and the lens having negative refractive power included in the second lens group satisfies the following condition: ν d 2 n< 50.0  (8) where νd 2 n represents an abbe number of the lens having negative refractive power on the d-line. 8. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens group includes at least one lens having positive refractive power, and the lens having positive refractive power satisfies the following condition: 0.009<Δ PgF 1  (9) where ΔPgF 1 represents a deviation of a partial dispersion ratio of the lens having positive refractive power included in the first lens group from a reference line, the reference line being a straight line passing coordinates of partial dispersion ratio values and νd values of C 7 , which have a partial dispersion ratio of 0.5393 and νd of 60.49 and F 2 , which have a partial dispersion ratio of 0.5829 and νd of 36.30. 9. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the third lens group includes at least one lens having negative refractive power. 10. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the first lens group satisfies the following condition: 2.6< |f 1|/ f   (10) where f 1 represents a focal length of the first lens group. 11. The optical system according to claim 1 , wherein the second lens group includes at least one lens having positive refractive power, and the lens having positive refractive power satisfies the following condition: 0.009<Δ PgF 3  (11) where ΔPgF 3 represents a deviation of a partial dispersion ratio of the lens having positive refractive power included in the second lens group from a reference line, the reference line being a straight line passing coordinates of partial dispersion ratio values and νd values of C 7 , which have a partial dispersion ratio of 0.5393 and νd of 60.49 and F 2 , which have a partial dispersion ratio of 0.5829 and νd of 36.30. 12.
